IN THE COMMONS.
Gladstone Comments Further on
the Dillon Case,

LONDON, May SIN the commons
this afternoon the consideration of the
question of breach of privilege in the
Times-Dillon case was resumed. No
member rising to speak ON the motion
of Lewis, that the conduct of the Times
was a breach of privilege, and that
the house take notice of it,
Speaker Peel put before the house the
amendment of Sir Edward Clarke, the
solicitor general, that the house decline
to treat the Times publication. The
Parnellites at once challenged divis-
ion. This resulted in vote of 297 in
favor of the amendment to 219 against
it. The amendment thus became the
substantive motion. Bradlaugh resumed
the debate. Gladstone, who on rising
was loudly cheered, moved an amend
ment that committee be appointed
to inquire into the charge of wilful
falSehOOd made against Dillon in the
Times of Monday. He said he did not
intend to suggest that the inquiry go
beyond the article referred to. He OBJ
jected to Lord Randolph Churdhill's
calling him the leader of the party of
separation. He perfectly understood
why Lord Randolph did not call it the
party of home rule. There was fu-
uuiS pNiOiS i1Oio III 1WillCll
home rule plans might figure as conven-
lent to propose. [Cheers.] Turning to
the question of privilege, he said
II WAS UNFORTUNATE
that the government proposed the pres
ent step against an Irish member, while
inficting upon the Irish people by means
of permanent coercion bill the brand
of perpetual dishonor. Why take the
case into a court of law? Was it certain
that Dillon would get verdict,
whatever might be the proof, in the case
where parliament declared the charges
against member no breach of privi-
lege. Nearly thirty years ago he went
as commissioner to the Ionian islands.
The Times then said the Ionian assem-
bly, was committing treason, and that
the commissioner was aiding and abet-
ting. AS he thought the charges re-
quired redress, he took the best advice
on the subject, but all his advis-
ers said he could not depend upon
securing fair verdict. The Irish men,
bers would be in still more unfavora-
BILE position in jury trial. 1t was no
wonder they preferred tribunal of the

SUPERIOR, May 5.-The sale of the
Iron Range railroad and the Minnesota
Iron cOmpanys property on Vermillion
Range, reported in the GLOBE of yester-
day, is regarded here as unfortunate for
Duluth and all interests at the head of
the lake. Mr.. Porter and his associates,
the purchasers. are believed to repre-
sent in the matter the Chicago & North
western and St. Paul x Omaha railways
and the iron masters of Chicago, who
will take the ore to Chicago for smelling
and rolling. 1t is taken for granted
that their policy will antagonize the
building of iron working industries at
the head of Lake Superior. and that they
will by this purchase and by their treat

Superior, who are habituated to reliance
upon natural advantages and reSour-
ceS, have convincing proof that we can
do what cannot be done at any other 10
cality in the country-produce the best
and cheapest fuel for the reduction of
iron ores at nominal cost and within a
few miles of the ore beds. AS is well
known to many who have explored the
country about the head of the lake, there
are in this region practically inexhaust-
ible beds of peat. Another fact, but
known to few only, is that we have
here tested and established a process for
preparation of the fuel and coking it, by
which the peat coke may be produced
and delivered in Superior, for instance,
at a cost for handling and carriage not
exceeding so cents per ton, and this peat
coke, tested by experts in this country
and compared with peat coke in actual
use in iron works of other countries, is
pronounced the best possible fuel for
manufacturing either iron or steel. Out
of these facts something new in the
world and of great Importance to the
Northwest may be developed.

The company played Fra DiavOla'' at
matinee Saturday, and part of De Lus-
sans faction was cast to sing with Maria
Stone. While there were no open hos
tilitieS, the side demonstrations of de-
tiance and omissions created q sensation
in the audience. In the evening the
opera, ''The Daughter of the Regiment"
was put on, with De LuSSan as leading
lady. After the opera was in progress
it was discovered that Clark, who was
cast to take the role of the Sergeant,

broke down. The curtain was rung
down in confusion, and the audience
had wait of half an hour.

1t was face of peace. Soft, fair
tresSes were brushed back from a white
shapely brow and tender features. The
girls hand lay lightly on the untroubled
breast, where all could see the little
hoop of gold that wiped out all her past
life and made her wife. There were
were no blossoms scattered around the
head of Fanny Robinson. Her graceful
figure lay in a simple shroud of white
with no other ornament than the golden
symbol of wifehOod.
In and out of the Faith Home for
Fallen Women, in West Forty-seventh
street, there trOOped bold women,
tricked out in silks and fine feathers.
with world of paint and powder that
could not hide the scars that sin and
shame had left there. Yes, they were
all invited, and they swarmed in with
heads still burning from last nights
dissipationS. Every den of shame sent
its delegate to look upon the sanity face
of the girl who was plucked from the
frail SiSterhOod two years ago. Some of
them bent low over the still figure, and
when they went away somehow there
were tears upon the cheek of the dead
girl.
I Poor Fanny. Years ago she learned to
daily with temptation on the brim of the
wine cup. Motherless, almost father
less, she fell. AT 16 years she had flung
herself in the vortex of sin and crime.
She entered den. Often the girl was
thrust into the streets without cent.
One winter night two years ago she was
arrested for drunkenness. She asked
to be sent to the home in West Twenty
seventh street. There she was kept by
Miss Strachan, its founder, for eight
months. Finally Fanny was married to
respectable young German, who was
converted in the chapel of the home.
Ten years of shame and hardship had
undermined the girls health. She grad
ually faded. On Saturday she died in
the arms of her young husband.
After Fanny'S body had lain in state
for several hours, Rev. Frank Bottome
said few words encouraging the dead
girls former companions to follow her
good example. Many of them cried
while singing Fanny's favorite lines:
Hide me, o my Savior, hide
Till the storm of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide,
Oh, receive my soul at last.
Then they took her to Greenwood and
laid her in a grave on the top of hill,
and it is there that the children, wan
dering along the paths, first find violets
in the spring.

THE FLOOD IN MAINE.
1t Has Caused Vast Damage at
Various Points.

Various Points.
BANGOR, Me-, May 5.-The water re-
mains at about the same height. The
bridge piers are being slowly under
mined. Last night the pressure at the
dam broke the connecting rod of the
main pumps in the water works, COM
pletely disabling them. A rotary pump,
which is kept for emergencies, is being
used, but only about One-eighth of the
city'S water supply is available. All the
elevators which are run by water
or steam have been shut down.
The Maine Central raiIread officials
think that they will be unable TO start
train for st. John under two weeks
The washouts at Costigan, Kingman and
Mattamkeg continue to grow larger.
Houses are starting from their fonnda-
tiOns all along the river. and thousands
of dollars worth of household property
has been washed away, causing much
suffering to families along the
banks. Farmers will be weeks be-
hind with their crops. All the
trestle work supporting the rail-
road at Saltwater has been torn away,
and houses there have tioated down the
river. Business is suspended on the
Bangor & Katahdin Iron Works road,
where there are many washouts. The
Piscataquis river rose twenty-five feet,
making highways impossible. The new
WOOlen mill, dam and most of the Camp
bell dam at Sangerville have been
WASHED AWAY,
suspending mill operations for a long
time. In those cities some of the houses
are flooded, and the families have been
transferred in boats to places of safety.
Teachers and pupils in some
schools have had to go back
and forth in boats. The woolen
mills and other factories at Hartland are
flooded, and five stores there are under
mined and fell from their foundations,
causing great loss. Boats ars used to
pass along the streets, and hardly a
building has escaped. A. Linn, the
great mill owner, is the heaviest loser.
His damage will be over S150,0O0, it is
thought, and two months will be
required to get the factory run
ming. A carload of mail matter
for provincial, Eastern Maine and
Aroostook points. which was forwarded
from here TO Portland yesterday, to go
to EaStport and st. John, has been re-
turned, the steamer refusing to take any
but the most important mail. Store
houses for mail sacks will be required if
the blockade continues much longer.
Great damage has been done at Dexter
to the woOlen mills, and operations there
will be suspended for some time. at
Bradley town meeting was held, to
which voters went in boats.

this morning. The procession from the
cell of the prisoner reached the scaffOld
at 7:25 a. m, with Fathers O'COn-
nor and Duranquet on either side
of the condemned man. The moose was

April 7th, two years ago, John Hannon.
a.young man % years old, the only son
of a widow, was employed as q
watchman at the foot of East
Thirty-eighth street. That was Han-
mons last night watch, for on that
very night he was shot to death by Peter
Smith. 1t is said, and it appears to
have been proved, that the killing was
premeditated, and the murder of the
watchman was the elimination of an
old grudge on the part of the slayer,
BE this as it may, no very clear eXpla-
nation of the feud, if any existed, was
given in the trial, aside from the testi4
mOny of lannon's mother. Notwith4

sent Smith to the gallows. He saie
with almost -.

that Mrs. Harmon had perjured herself,
and she asserts that she only details
what her dying son told her. This was
in effect that Smith had a grudge of
long standing against him, and
that on the evening of May z, 1885,
the condemned man and COM
paniOn named Alexander Swee-
ney came down on the dock at which he
was stationed and that the former shot
him. Smith and Sweeney were both az
rested within twenty-four hours, and at
the cOrOner'S jury Investigation the evil
dence was not clear enough to connect
either of them with the murder. AS
sistant District Attorney Ambrose, of
Purdy, however, followed up the mat
ter, and at Smiths formal examination
entrapped him into admitting that he
had fired the shot, but that it was acci-
dental. The grand jury took differ
ent view of the whole affair, and both
Smith and Sweeney were indicted fer
murder in the first degree. Smith was
convicted and sentenced by Recorder
Smyth, and after stay and an affirm
ing of the righteousness CT the verdict
by the court of appeals, Smith was a
second time sentenced to be hanged
this morning, the first Thursday in the
history of the state on which capital
punishment has been carried out.
